Can we please have the good old quotes back?
"I have the leadership abilities of a small canteloupe" and all the others. Perhaps even some new ones.

Could it be done on vBulletin? It would be nice to have them back.

Thanks.

I take it that you're refering to the quotes that popped up after you posted?
It would be great to have those back...

Yes. We currently have a "Thanks for voting" message screen or something of the sort, so I guess the quotes could be easily put there.

Surely, that can be changed...

My proposals:


"The reports of my demise have been greatly exaggerated." -- Mark Twain

"Civilization is a limitless multiplication of unnecessary necessaries." -- Mark Twain

"The man who does not read good books has no advantage over the man who cannot read them." -- Mark Twain

"I have never let my schooling interfere with my education" -- Mark Twain

"Democracy is the worst form of government, except for all the others." - Winston Chruchill

"Every once in a while, declare peace. It confuses the hell out of your enemies." - Ferengi Rule of Acquisition No. 76

"Civilization is a movement and not a condition, a voyage and not a harbor." -- Arnold J. Toynbee

"Civilization is unbearable, but it is less unbearable at the top." -- Timothy Leary

"You can't say civilization don't advance... in every war they kill you in a new way." -- Will Rogers

"Civilization has taught us to eat with a fork, but even now if nobody is around we use our fingers." -- Will Rogers

"All great civilisations, in their early stages, are based on success in war." -- Kenneth Clark

"I've already told you more than I know." -- must be so much BS then....

OK, I'll shut up before the quotes get canned.
